Make Online Business Simple – Follow a Path

How to make online business simple? We all know that there are obstacles to overcome, when setting up and running an online business. One way to approach this is to follow a path – which has been laid by someone you can trust. Find someone who knows just what they are doing. As they say, do not re-invent the wheel, when trying to make your online business simple.

When you want to do conventional business – offline, the pattern has been similar for centuries. Once you identify a market, you find a product to to supply, then proceed to offer your products to potential customers. Business on the internet follows in a similar fashion. The methods of applying each process have only been developed over the last couple of decades – and are evolving fast.

Again, there are really only three steps to get right: firstly, offer a product that people want, at a price they are prepared to pay. Secondly, get that offer in front of enough of the right potential customers, then thirdly, deliver the product and collect payment.

While each of these is simple to describe, in practice, it can take months or years of research and study to master each step. It can take even longer to put each stage together, in a way which can be scaled to be profitable in the long term.

Product-creator or Affiliate

As a product creator, you commit to carrying out all the business processes necessary yourself. This is certainly the most profitable route long term, but even following skilled appropriate guidance, is a very long learning curve. There are many ‘gurus’ out there, who claim to be able to teach this quickly and easily. Experience soon shows that the internet ‘roadside’ is littered with ‘failed’ students, who have spent all they can, in terms of both money and time, and achieved little or no success.

One shortcut, followed by many, is to try selling other people’s products, on a commission basis, as an affiliate marketer. The online story is similar to that above – far more promises made than kept.

To make online business simple, try a third alternative

Having tried both product creation and affiliate marketing, and having had no real success, I am pleased to report that I discovered a ‘third way‘.

This involves becoming a partner in an existing, successful internet marketing venture.

No need to create a product – high-converting offers already in place. No need to sell the product – a professional sales team in place to do that.

My function is to invite others to view these offers, so that where appropriate, they can take advantage.
